This trick uses a basic chemical reaction that not only melts snow quickly but also prevents it from sticking to the driveway. By leveraging common household ingredients, the method lowers the freezing point of water—turning packed snow into loose slush that can be swept away with minimal effort. The combination of warm water, salt, and soap works together to speed up melting and reduce adhesion.
Preparing the Tools and Materials You’ll Need
To use this snow-clearing method, gather:
-
Warm water
-
A few drops of dish soap
-
About two tablespoons of table salt
-
A sturdy push broom
Having everything ready ensures you can apply the solution efficiently as soon as snow starts accumulating.
